Hour-Zero has provided schools with the necessary information and tools to properly prepare for any potential emergency or incident. I wish all of our in-city school districts had the foresight to contract with Hour-Zero. Thanks for making our job a little easier.

Response Protocols

Emergency procedures rely on clearly defined repeatable actions.

Response Protocols

Well defined response procedures greatly enhance a school's ability to respond to an emergency and significantly reduces confusion for those involved in the incident.

At Hour-Zero, we make sure you have solid functional protocols, such as lock-down, shelter-in-place, drop-cover-hold, etc., that simplify needed actions for your staff and students.

Our well-thought out protocols:

Make sense for your school

Incorporate lessons learned

Can be quickly executed

Align to best practices

Address first responder concerns

Accommodates site-specific needs

Distinguish between office and classroom procedures

Easily understood by the youngest of students

Developing protocols is part of the puzzle, turning them into actions means ensuring staff, students, parents and first responders know your protocols and can execute them.
